Yes he's done some really awful things with his life, but remember that he's human too. If Osama was loved in his life, he wouldn't have been so hateful and done those really awful things, In the same way that Hilter just needed to be loved, and if he was he never would've done those really awful things. Everyone's a good person in their heart, if they decided to cause harm on another person (which is evil and is the worst thing you could ever do) something went wrong in their lives, instead of placing anger on that person and making it worse, try helping the person into making postive choices.

I'm sorry you seem nice but you're delusional. 
Like your whole paragraph is just 
The world is not rainbows and glitter, our reality is harsh.

@Reuters The end of a great career as a progressive. Today she joined corporate America. No condolences, SHE made that choice. #NeverHillary

Being against the death penalty doesn't mean I want terrorists to serve comfy prison sentences.  **** them.

I believe everyone has a heart and compassion for others, some more then others, but no one truly wants to hurt anyone else, and the only reason someone would possibly consider it is if they've been hurt in their own life.
But if there's a psychological element to it as well, I suggest science will find a cure for this eventually, probably within the next 5-10 years, and these people will be able to live normal lives.

The only reason why we still have these problems in the first place is because sadly people don't believe a peaceful world can exist, but it can, everyone just needs to start being kind and loving to each other.

Terrorism (and a few other horrific crimes against humanity-- like the guy who shot up the Charleston church) definitely deserve the death penalty. My only problem with the death penalty is *some innocent ppl may/will get sentenced to death and we'll never really know.

Which is why Hillary wants to ban it on a state level and only have it for the federal level such as what you just said.
I, myself, agree 100% with her. Terrorists and dictators must die. It's the only way to stop their power from rising. On fracking, it obviously has to and will go away one day, but right now that is not of concern. She should focus more on her plans for climate change.

This is FALSE. Some people are just sociopaths and psychopaths. This is not a foreign concept. No medical treatment could fix it 
There are cases when a child can show signs of it despite having a good home and life. They just develop these conditions that are unexplained.

I can't imagine how insignificant her climate change plans must be if she doesn't consider fracking threatening enough to ban.

How coincidental that Hillary's blatant faults are "non-issues" for you guys.

That industry is huge and renewable power can't just be implemented over night. What are you expecting?

Not everyone prioritizes the same issues. And some of those issues (like fracking) aren't even faults to me

why should people be against the death penalty just because they're Democrats?
it's like wondering why you're against the death penalty when you're based in TX

Because it's more than just ban, ban, ban. You have to realize how it will effect our economy and jobs which is why you start to implement clean energy jobs and then cut down gradually on the rest.
She'll do it with coal. Then she'll move to fracking. Fracking added 725,000 jobs from 2005-2012 alone. We don't know the exact numbers in the last 4 years, or the next. Yes fracking is bad, and it is an issue, but it's more than just opposing as it is to be a president who can balance everyone's life and needs.
And far as the death penalty goes, I have been for it for as long as my brain allowed me to understand the concept. Israel is irrelevant to my life.

Sherrod Brown is another name I'm hearing a lot today as potential VP pick.
But I'm still set on it being Warren. I'd bet a lot of money it.

He was a top pick, but he's from Ohio and their Governor is Kasich.
Unless they can work around it, like with Warren as well, then great. But if not, it's not worth the risk.
